Improving oral health through programs that create a "pipeline" of underrepresented minorities and economically disadvantaged students, increasing their chances of acceptance into and success in dental school.

Program White Coat

This weeklong program is designed to interested young people in dentistry as a career. White Coat participants are "dentists for a week," exploring dentistry through educational lessons, role-playing, and field trips, among other activities. They learn from BUSDM faculty, staff, and students about dentistry basics such as X-rays, the evolution of teeth, human dentition and sealants, oral hygiene, and pouring impressions.
